Forecasters' discussion

From the National Weather Service office in ILN, issued 2 hrs ago

What Has Changed

Dense fog advisory has been cancelled, patchy dense fog will still be present this morning.

Key Messages

1) Dense fog is occurring across portions of the region this morning.

2) High pressure will persist over the region through the week and into the weekend, bringing dry and seasonable conditions.

Discussion

Key Message 1)

Patchy dense fog is still present this morning. While widespread dense fog has started to improve, patchy dense fog is still present across northern portions of the region near and north of Interstate 70.

Otherwise, some pockets of fog are expected elsewhere, along with local rivers and valleys.

A similar situation may occur tomorrow and Friday, with fog occurring across portions of west-central and central Ohio.

Key Message 2)

High pressure remains in place across the eastern CONUS through the end of the week, reinforced by another ridge into the weekend. High temperatures are few degrees above normal, and dry conditions will persist. Some occasions of frost, primarily across central and south- central Ohio are possible with temperatures dropping into the mid 30s Wednesday night and Friday night.

Aviation

Other than the valley fog occurring around LUK, the dense fog is currently remaining north of the TAF sites. This is expected to continue as the fog lifts later this morning. Persistence forecast again for this after with light northerly winds. Will once again mention the potential for BR at ILN and LUK.

For Thursday, winds increase a little and are more out of the northeast.
